Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno says they recorded all 11 tracks on upcoming album Gore in sequence as an experiment.

Their eighth album is out on April 8 via Warner Bros Records – and Moreno says even before a single song was laid down in the studio, he had an idea how the album should be presented.

He tells Scuzz TV: “We had the batch of songs and I put them in a sequence of how I heard the record making sense at that point – even before it was recorded.

“We recorded it in sequence which was an experiment as we’ve never done anything like that. It was very much like recording something that was fluent from beginning to end. We really tried to put it together so it makes sense as a full album.

“I recorded my vocals in succession and built it that way from the ground up. It was a cool experiment that I feel worked.”
